	The potential for positive change is: demonetizing critical assets necessary for human thriving - assets which can readily be made abundant, therefore the case is strong for their demonetization.

			Universal basic assets (UBA) refer to a foundational set of resources that are considered essential for every person to have access to, ensuring a basic standard of living and the opportunity to pursue a meaningful life. Unlike universal basic income (UBI), which focuses solely on a regular cash payment, UBA encompasses a broader range of necessities.

			The Institute for the Future (IFTF) has been a key proponent of the UBA concept, defining it as "a core, basic set of resources that every person is entitled to, from housing and healthcare to education and financial security."

			IFTF categorizes universal basic assets into three broad classes:

			#Private Assets: Resources owned individually, such as basic housing, a certain level of financial security (potentially through a basic income component or access to credit), and perhaps basic personal goods.
			#Public Assets: Infrastructure and services provided collectively, typically managed by governments. These include essential services like universal healthcare, education, public transportation, and access to clean water and sanitation.
			#Open Assets: Increasingly important in the digital age, these are communally created and accessible to everyone. Examples include open-source software, scientific knowledge, digital literacy and access, and potentially even data and AI tools.
			The goal of promoting universal basic assets is to create a more equitable and resilient society by ensuring everyone has a foundation upon which to build their lives, participate in the economy, and contribute to their communities. The concept aims to address inequalities in access to essential resources and enable individuals to pursue opportunities without the constant threat of survival needs not being met.

	This should be differentiated from the welfare state, a [[Re-Distributive]] system which steals from the rich to give to the poor.

This should be differentiated from the welfare state, a [[Re-Distributive]] system which proverbially 'steals from the rich to give to the poor'. The critique of such a system is implied: it is [[Re-Distributive]]- ie, it does not contribute to balancing an uneven playing field which is responsible for equality of opportunity but inequality of access. A universal basic asset system is earned by one's participation: infrastructures exist for access to abundance. But abundance, like love, is not given, but made - by one's direct engagement in productive activity. One can produce as much as one wants - efficiently. This addresses the [[Freeloader Dilemma]]. This also address hoarding or greed - because it has direct purpose be operating as usufruct demonetization. Incentives for hoarding are minimized.

	For example - you want a new top of the line cell phone? Participate in its production process and build as many as you like. Ipossible? Not if rapid learning and efficient, rapid learning is available anyone to despecialize. Then you go to work whenever you like. For uptime considerations - [[Flexible Fabrication]], [[Robust Design]], [[Swarm Builds]], [[Degeneracy]], [[Abundant Materials]], and [[Solar Energy]] are used~~, such that~~ a buffer of 5000x the necessary production ~~is maintained~~ based on first principles of energy ~~- allowing~~ for complete resilience ~~on the economic playing field~~.

This results in a buffer of 5000x the necessary production =based on first principles of energy access. This allows for complete resilience, while solving resource conflicts.

	Universal Basic Assets are all those necessities (food, home, energy, clothing, etc) that allow for a lifestyle sufficient to begin an earnest search for purpose and meaning in one's life - unobstructed by the fear-invoking threat of survival. This is consistent with not triggering the reptilian brain to fear, thus maximizing immunity to external manipulation and [[Cognitive Warfare]]. Universal Basic Assets are a direct product of the [[Open Sector]], and the Open Sector is a direct derivative of [[Moral Intelligence]]		Universal Basic Assets are all those necessities (food, home, energy, clothing, etc) that allow for a lifestyle sufficient to begin an earnest search for purpose and meaning in one's life - unobstructed by the fear-invoking threat of survival.

			Universal Basic Assets is a concept. Its execution can lead to positive change, or remain just another way that the system protects itself from change. The devil's in the details of execution.

			The potential for positive change is: demonetizing critical assets necessary for human thriving - assets which can readily be made abundant, therefore the case is strong for their demonetization. At the same time, the [[Freeloader Dilemma]], [[Financialization]], [[Overregulation]], and [[Scarcity-Based Econonomics]], among others, must be negotiated.
